From the st. James Gazette
Hypnotism has been employed with consitlera.
Bile success in Paris for some time past by Charcot
and others in the treatment OF hysderical dis
orders; but case just related by NJ Clovis
Hughes in the France Is perhaps the most sut-
cessful example OF its application so far recorded
young lady OF 20 was attacked six months ago
with nervous ailment which cOmpleteIy de-
prived her OF the use OF her voice ELECTRICITY
was tried, and with certain amount nj
success at first but 1t lost its effect after time
and IL was ut length abandoned in deSuair
As last fesource ner friends applied to Dr. Beril
ION, the hypnotic specialist, and after conSuta-
ton with Charcot he decided TO uDdertake the
case. After having brought On the mesmeric
patient TO say II am 2O'' as soon as She awoke A
minute terward she opened her eyes. and at
once uttered the WORDS without the least trace Of
an effort; Dut there her power OF articulation
ended. The next day the suggestion was that She
should converse with the DOCTOR and this she did
WIN ease, though she could not exchange q single
remark with any one else present Finally at the
third Seance, DR.. Berilion ordered her To speak
whenever and with whOIasoeyer she pleased
thehceiorward. Since that Iime she has been able
10 use her tongue freely, and her voice Is as clear
ana distinct as 1t was before the attack.
